Three Things with Ray Rhodes

What made Martyn Lloyd-Jones such a powerful preacher, and why is a new generation rediscovering him? Ray Rhodes Jr. sits down with Dr. David Bunce, pastor of Grace Community Church in Dawsonville, Georgia, who wrote his doctoral dissertation on "the Doctor."

David shares how he met a man who knew Lloyd-Jones personally, what he found in the Lloyd-Jones archives at the National Library of Wales, whether Lloyd-Jones was "the last of the Puritans," and what Spiritual Depression teaches about preaching the gospel to yourself. Then he closes with three things every preacher needs from Lloyd-Jones: the power of the Spirit, personal holiness, and prayer.
